Sick with nerves

LegacyUser

Hi Guys,

I'm just curious if has ever had the feeling I've had the last week or so. I'd be a fairly normal socially awkward person. Wouldn't be full of chat around people I don't really know, but I've grown to accept that.

Maybe twice in my life I've had to stand up and speak in front of a large gathering, both times I had trouble sleeping coming up to them and had serious butterflies on the day.

But the last few day I'm feeling like that constantly, even though I'm not stressed and have nothing on the horizon to worry about. It feels like all my worst fears are coming at me all at once, my stomach is doing somersaults and that tight it's actually sore from the tension (hence the username). It's worse at night too. My heart is racing constantly, and I'm getting frequent palpitations. I've been getting maybe 3 - 4 hours sleep a night because of this (usually get 7 or 8). Even in college it seems like I'm daydreaming and the lecturer's voice is echoing or distorted.

Did anyone else ever have this feeling for no reason?
